OS X by default runs only signed binaries, and if they come from the App Store they run in a sandbox. User gains significant security with this, and are completely unaware of it. There is no inconvenience. What is the inconvenience of encrypting your device

Hi Dave, I am using ferret at my site http://gifthat.com and I just had a few exceptions pop up. I don''t have a way to reproduce them, but my site just was listed on lifehacker.com and these issues have popped up under multiple concurrent users (only twice though which I think isn''t too bad).
